Breadth

A multi-media, magic realist drama based on true experiences of the pandemic, prejudice, and the care of older people. 

Join Ibn Khaldun, medieval mystic, polymath and jurist, on a journey from the Great Plague to the COVID-19 pandemic through the lives of older people and the racial minorities care for them. From football to racism to pet tortoises, follow stories of different families in this multi-media, magical realist drama. 

Based on true experiences, breaDth takes us through the challenges, loves and humour behind these stories. 

The interviews that inform the script were collected by researchers for the Consortium on Practices of Wellbeing and Resilience among Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Families and Communities (ESRC).
